You have got to list to sell.

I would have liked to buy from you when you were selling off your collection,
but I did not know about Bricklink back then.

I still miss my little collection. Hopefully, I made many people happy.

Annual slowdown as back to school days approach. Everyone is spending cashola
on clothes, crayons, and laptops.

Confirmation: I had 49 orders in July, 4 so far in aug and its the 13th.

Theory summer is slow (true), but gaps happen like by august 1st people are changing
gears dropping everything to get ready for the new school year. Just like Nov.
and Dec. are busy if you sell sets, but by the 20th of dec. good luck getting
any more orders, it cools down then.

Another theory that no one talks about, sales are like a water spigot that might
be controlled an algorithm.

There's also a certain element of randomness to it, that cannot easily be
explained. Even during periods of normal sales, some days/months are busier than
others.

August is historically my slowest month. Ebay is worse. I think I've sold
like 3 item all month. This is normal for ecommerce, between people being outside
and school starting, it can extend into sept.

I remember one year I sold NOTHING on either platform. You just learn to plan
ahead for it.


Doing ok this time, but I've had to run sales.
